+Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple didn’t.

+
+Please note: Homebrew is not 1.0 yet. Generally it works well, but when
+it doesn’t we’d hope you report the bug. If it’s still broken at 1.0 you
+have our permission to throw a strop and make a big fuss.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+First, please run `brew update` and `brew doctor`.
+
+Second, please read the [Troubleshooting Checklist](Troubleshooting.md).
+
+**If you don’t read these it will take us far longer to help you with
+your problem.**
+
+However! Fixing build issues is easier than you think: try
+`brew edit $FORMULA` and see how you fare.
